Reddit mentions of LE E12 to E26 Light Socket Adapter, Bulb Base Converter, Pack of 6

You can buy adaptors! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013QO15GE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_r86Ezb9X9M6KE


This is what I did for my bedside lamp. Works great as long as the light has a big lamp shade.

I would not LED strip, its clumsy, lots of parts, and so on

Suggestions:

1. I would repair the wire connection and use a candelabra LED bulb [I think candelabra is the right socket shape?], which will put far less strain on the weak splices than the old light did because LED uses far less amps. Thats the easy option, use the brightest bulb you can find
   
2. Adapt to a normal socket size [you lose space in the glass cover because of the adaption] Use 100w LED bulb
   
3. LED light engine retrofit
   
4. Replace the socket with a Type A normal socket size, which opens a vast number of LED light bulbs to you, like this very bright LED bulb [you have to check how long these special bulbs are, minus screw base, plus the socket depth etc]

I doubt it. However, you could run an E14 to E26 adapter, something like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Candelabra-Adapter-Converter-Convert-Chandelier/dp/B013QO15GE/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_60_bs_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=K572MMASN34RDB1AZ692

I have a couple lamps (though they're E12, not E14, but the concept is the same) and use an adapter. They work great. They are not complex adapters and likely doesn't matter what brand you go with, as they're just connecting copper to copper. Only things you'd have to make sure of:

• wattage (though likely not a problem, as I think the color 1000/a19 bulbs are only 11w)
  
• clearance (as you'd be fitting a larger bulb in a potentially small space. the mini's might be a better option)
  
• airflow (fitting a larger bulb into a potentially smaller space might not leave enough room for the heat to dissipate)
  
• directionality (the color 1000s and similar large form factors are designed to point more upwards, instead of in all directions. the minis do a better job at dispersing color outwards, with the caveat of lower lumen output)
  
  Hope that helps.

I used IKEA e12 smart bulbs that are supposed to be similar to Hue in functionality but they suck and I don’t recommend them.

They are E12 to E26 adapters available and that would let you use your Hue bulb(s).

I guess you could use something like this? https://www.amazon.com/Candelabra-Adapter-Converter-Convert-Chandelier/dp/B013QO15GE

I don’t have any in my house ever since I replaced the old ceiling fans with smart ones. I can imagine they’d be annoying
